“If the goal was for them to come here and augment existing law enforcement, to pursue violent criminals or people with extensive criminal histories, why wouldn’t you be more transparent about who you’ve arrested and why?”

Morrell and other officials have said the crackdown appears to be a dragnet focused on people with brown skin, citing viral videos of encounters such as masked agents chasing a 23-year-old U.S. citizen returning home from the grocery store.

"The Trump administration is replacing American democracy with a kleptocracy, a system of corruption in which a network of ruling elites use the institutions of government to steal public assets for their own private gain.

It is the system Russia’s president Vladimir Putin exploits in Russia, and President Donald J. Trump is working to establish it in the United States of America." - Heather Cox Richardson

1.2 million vets rely on SNAP to put food on their table.

It’s almost Veteran’s Day. How can these vets literally not be able to put food on their table on the very day that’s meant to honor them?

Once upon a time, there was a President who wanted to be a dictator.

He wanted civil unrest but people stayed peaceful.

So, he broke the system, cut off food benefits to 42 million people, expecting people to get violent and break laws, so that he could declare martial law. That way he could shut down elections.

But the people stayed peaceful. Neighbors helped neighbors and they kept fighting against his takeover until they kicked him out.

Forty-two million Americans rely on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which could soon run out of funds.

Meanwhile, a petulant commander-in-thief is traveling to Asia, probably to spend time on some golf course.

This is, of course, as illegal as fuck.

Helpfully, the Treasury Department has deleted a webpage that points out it's been against the law since 1866 to mint U.S. coins with a living person's picture on them.
